A zombie’s sticky head is rolling down a hill in Don’t Lose Your Head!. Try to pick up some useful clutter to protect your skull from hard impacts.
I’m not sure who’s set your head rolling down a graveyard hill, but they really deserve a stern talking-to. There’s so many stumps and graves for you to bash your head into. It’s dangerous! Thankfully, your head has gotten a bit sticky for some reason, so you can pick up lighter objects on the way down. Tiny coffins, shovels, and other oddities can get stuck to your head as you roll, giving you a buffer against all of those hard things you’ll probably slam into if you aren’t careful. And it’s pretty hard to be careful when you’re just a disembodied head rolling around.
It’s a simple concept, but you pick up speed fairly quickly as you tumble down the hill. You really have to pay attention to what’s coming and adjust your path in a hurry. Most of the objects that will protect you are fairly close to something that will hurt you, so you have to be ready to reverse direction as soon as you’ve got what you need. You have fairly good control over your head, but when you’re rolling so fast, it’s easy to keep going and bump into something. And even if you avoid that, oversteering and guiding your head into another object in another direction happens a lot as well. It takes a fair amount of practice to get some really high scores, but it’s pretty fun to keep your head on the track and uninjured as long as you can.
Don’t Lose Your Head! is a straightforward game, but there’s a lot of enjoyment to be had in avoiding hard objects while rolling your head down a hill.
